Well if SnS has the bd85 then get it as soon as you can. For the price panalo sya talaga. Last offered at amazon for $250 na. Although if you can extend your budget then the oppo bdp93 is a better buy, sadly twice the price :o

Not multiregion but you can buy a mod kit to make it region free for both dvd and blu-ray..

Will the MOD kit Doc be a DIY for us or technician talaga kailangan?

It can be bought from ebay and diy lang for us. No need for a technician. No need for soldering anything. Its like plug and play lang.

Much cheaper to just buy the kit rather than buy a modded unit already.

Wow this cool, Plug & Play lang :)
Thanks for the idea Doc, I'll do some googling later today, its been quite a long time I'm longing for a muti-region player ;)

Yes I heard about these that Sight & Sounds are still selling these, quite highly price for an old model :)

Hi sir, beg to disagree. This is a bargain at 11t. You'd be lucky to get it at amazon for less than 250$ add ka pa tax and shipping. Also I don't think it can play multi region bd and DVD, well if it does then it's really a bargain. Had I known, would have gotten this instead of the oppo bec it's more than  half the price ;D

Unfortunately its not region free.. And pana bd players are good for bd playback but not for dvd playback.. Oppo is excellent for both.. ;-)

Doc I remember you mentioning before that you have multi region player, was it an LG or this PANA model?

at 11k if its really region free, I think it worth buying by just closing our eyes but if its not then its just a bit expensive  ;D
